What did I had for dinner. So Miso ramen and chicken kara age. Let’s start with the appetizer karaaege. Basic japanese dish that are supposed to be marinated. Well here they are not marinated (or maybe I didn’t really taste anything) just covered in flour, deep fried that’s it. They will give you a side of Thai chilli sauce for dipping which ruins the overall taste and experience. The chicken karaage without the dipping sauce was bland and so basic. It should’ve came with japanese mayo or a Gyoza sauce, maybe we could salvage the taste of it. So do not order I repeat do not order it’s not worth $10. Let’s talk about the Miso ramen, ramen should be the star of the night, right?. The name of the restaurant has ramen attached to it after all, O M G 🤦🏽♂️ the broth the noodles was below average. The noodles are comparable to instant noodles, nothing that will make you say ‘’ Alright! Alright, not too bad for the first couple of tastings. “ Well that is not the case. The chashu was a little bit on the chewy side, chashu should melt in your mouth( the proper way ) when you bite the pork it’s almost like you need to use a fork to cut the half portion of it. To me that is a fail 👎🏼. Now would I come back and recommend this place? Unfortunately I can’t recommend it. I’m sorry. The only reason I checked it out is because of the 600 people who reviewed this restaurant here on Google. Spend your money elsewhere. How about service? I went here around 6:30-ish pm so it wasn’t really that busy, 4-5 tables occupied one had a 5 top, one server working so she was by herself taking orders running food. Got served right away kitchen wasn’t that busy overall. Cinta Ria Malaysian restaurant 3 mins walk from here is low key exceptional place will be your...
Read moreA M A Z I N G!! I went here for the first one back in October, been going here about once or twice a month ever since! Upon going for the first time, I had no idea what to expect, considering my only experience from ramen had been from Mr. Noodles (I am embarrassed to say). I was a bit turned off when I saw the ingredients first: the idea of an egg in a soup was just shy of a circle of hell. However, once I’d dipped my chopsticks in the broth, I had the purest taste of heaven I’ll ever encounter! The noodles are a perfect thickness, and I couldn’t be happier with the quality of the ingredients. The Chashu pork lingers in my mouth for a good day after my visits, this place is highly addictive. Not only are the ingredients good, but they look so nice sitting in the bowl, almost like a happy family. The atmosphere is very comforting, and the customer service is very accommodating! I’d brought my older brother in with me, which was risky because he’s a picky eater with zero chopstick skills, but our waitress brought him over a fork without us even having to ask! I was a bit embarrassed, but to my delight even he liked it, and wants to come back soon! For anyone who is curious about the restaurant, definitely visit, as you will not be disappointed in...
Read moreWent there for lunch for a birthday celebration. So ordered two of the "TOKAI" ramen (with the 🦞, $33): their signature dish, the one that's the name of their restaurant. Even pointed it on the menu when I ordered it.
The waitress assumed I ordered the "Tonkontsu" (cheaper price; don't know the exact price because didn't even look at that item). Had my sight on the TOKAI ramen even before entering the restaurant. It was the only reason we chose to dine there. We both looked so confused when the waitress brought out the Tonkontsu ramen, with no lobsters. She took them back and we waited (again) for the food.
The TOKAI ramen itself was average. One good thing about it was that the lobster and the shrimps were not overcooked. One of the mussels was not fully opened, so it was DOA (not fresh). The ones that were opened were tiny. I liked the decor of the restaurant though.
Overall, quite a disappointing dining...
